But you don't know if you want to pay that much for him.
So you are going to trade him for a 26 year old, who has similar point production, who make $6M for the next two years until he is a UFA.
Why not keep the younger, RFA, if he is going to be making $6M as well.

Maybe the organization feels that points aren't everything and that Galchenyuk is lacking in specific qualities the organization feels it needs to be successful?
